Mineral gray, or Grabber Blue?

With the mods you are talking about I think Mineral Gray would really give it the pissed off, aggressive look. It will be a lot more subtle than Grabber Blue which is an attention getter. People will notice the sound and sleekness of the Gray.

After thinking about it the current shade of Grabber Blue might be too bright. This is the '12 Mustang the day we bought it. Even on an overcast day it was stupid bright. The mineral gray is, in my opinion, going to look much better on your Thunderbird.

My old Torino Vert had a custom Medium Mettalic Blue color and was silver or blue depending on the light.  I could get you the paint code.....A bird would look sweet in that color.

The paint color is called Grabber Blue. It's supposed to be the same as the color on the 69-70 Mustangs. It's available on the '10 and up Mustang.

I'm pretty unoriginal when it comes to things like this...I think the Grabber Blue looks hot as hell though.

Do you really think so ????????????

Grabber blue if you will be doing a lot of customization.  Mineral gray if you are keeping it mostly stock.

If going the highly customized route, I'd consider matching grabber blue wheels.  At least photo shop a set to see how it looks.

A new silverado came into the shop last week in that blue granite color. Beautiful color, looks killer out in the sunlight.

I gotta agree with the people who said to pick something different than what everyone else has their car painted in. Do you really want a car that looks exactly like everyone else's? I ventured into Chevy paint code territory with my Bird (Fathom Green Metallic) because I wanted to be unique, a stand out amongst a sea of Black and Red cars, and didn't give any shags whatsoever about what the Ford Purist/Chevy hater crowd had to say. The color is an attention getter in the sunlight, and a dark stealth coating at night, blending in with the surroundings quite well. That is what I wanted from my paintjob/color choice, and I found it in a Chevy paint code of all places. BMW and Mercedes have some awesome/beautiful factory paint colors as well, which are worth considering. There is no need to pigeon hole yourself here because of opinions.

I like that. To me the grey is boring and the grabber blue is just too loud. This is a nice medium.
